Synopsis
Entertainer Eddie Parker has been looking for work in Florida for
some time when his contract in Paris offers him the prospect of a job
at the cabaret Gay Paris.
When he arrives at the airport he is disappointed to learn that the
flowers and music which greet him are not for him but for the funeral
of David Balkis, the man who owned most of the French cabaret.
Balkis’s three brothers – Melchior, Balthazar and Gaspard – have no
intention of handing over anything whatsoever to his widow Geneviève
and his son. Eddie has no choice but to give the brothers a
helping hand, although what follows is not the kind of entertainment he
had been expecting...
